Last chance to reserve hens for this weekend!
We are rehoming 5,000 free range organic hens over the next 2 weekends, but reservations will be closing for the 9th tomorrow, so don't miss out!
The hens are in lovely condition and credit to the farmers. This will be the first time they have rehomed their flock and are excited to see them go to lovely retirement homes.
If you have room in your coop and space in your ❤️, then pop over to our website and reserve some now.
Please share with all your friends and family and let's get these lovely calm girls rehomed

The ghost trend…. But make it chickens 👻🐓
Happy Halloween from the fresh start team!!
The team are in Derbyshire this morning, 'catching' caged hens.
Due to the lack of exercise, the hens generally have poor muscle tone and therefore poor bone density.
We carefully lift them from the cages and place them in the crates.
These girls are the lucky ones. Every day, thousands of caged hens are sent to slaughter :'(
We happily work with farmers from all systems and are very grateful to those who are forward thinking enough to give their girls happy retirements ❤️

Harriet, proud Fresh Start for Hens volunteer and winner of BBC Young Reporter for the South East <3
We are incredibly proud of our BBC Young Reporter, Harriet, and as a special treat, we are sending her LOTS more hens to rehome!
New dates have been added to our website www.freshstartforhens.co.uk
We had a great time in South Wales this weekend rehoming just under 3100 lovely free range warren hens, and about 15 unwanted cockerels as well. Massive thanks to all our hard working volunteers and loyal rehomers <3
We are in the final stages of preparation for this coming weekend (14th - all hens now reserved) and have just added more collection points to the website for 5th October.
If you visit the website you will see 21st September on there as well but we are down to our last 100 or so hens available for that date, so those collection points will be taken off very soon.
We have a double farm weekender on 26th and 27th October, and the collection points for those will be up hopefully by the end of the week.
The busier we are, the more little lives we can save!

UPDATE: We were given the opportunity to go back and save some more, so another 200 plus girls are looking for homes! Now also available at Rugby (Barby)
We took in around 300 hens in the early hours of this morning, from a farm that is due to send them all to slaughter :'(
Although the farmer wouldn't work directly with us, he did let in a lady he knows and she valiantly caught and crated 400 yesterday with just the help of her mum.
A couple of volunteers mobilised yesterday evening and moved the hens to some of our 'safe spaces', where they are waiting on new homes.
So, we have 300 EXTREMELY lucky and absolutely stunning birds looking for homes ASAP. Collection will be from Biggin Hill, Horsham and Huntingdon.
Our usual rehoming terms apply - a photo of your coop and run and a minimum donation of £2.75 per hen.
Please send a message to our page and we will endeavour to answer you asap :)
